Miessence Protect + Renew Antioxidant Mask — Raw Cacao, Chaga, Ginseng & Clove

Your moisturiser cannot remove what has accumulated in the skin during the day — environmental pollutants, oxidative stress, and the debris of cellular activity. A weekly mask can. Protect + Renew is a certified organic four-ingredient powder mask built around raw cacao, chaga mushroom, ginseng, and clove — a combination that removes dead cells and pollutants, stimulates collagen production, improves circulation, and delivers concentrated antioxidant protection in a single 15–30 minute treatment. No grain fillers. No gums. No starches. Just the actives.

How Protect + Renew Antioxidant Mask Works on Pollution-Stressed & Ageing Skin

Each of the four certified organic ingredients has a specific and documented function. Raw cacao is extraordinarily rich in flavonoids — plant antioxidants that stimulate blood circulation in the skin, smooth fine lines, and impart the luminous glow the skin loses under chronic oxidative stress. When applied as a mask, cacao’s antioxidant concentration is delivered directly to the skin’s surface in a way that dietary cacao cannot match.

Certified organic chaga mushroom contains betulonic acid (BA), a compound documented for its capacity to support skin growth and cell regeneration. Chaga protects against free radical damage and UV-induced aging and has been shown to stimulate collagen production — the structural protein responsible for skin firmness and the reduction of visible lines. It helps restore a more youthful, regenerated surface by supporting the skin’s own renewal process.

Certified organic ginseng removes dead skin cells and metabolic waste from the surface, improving smoothness and elasticity. Used in skincare for centuries across traditional Asian medicine, ginseng’s adaptogenic compounds also support the skin’s ability to manage stress at a cellular level. Certified organic clove reduces the appearance of sagging by improving vascular tone and stimulating facial circulation. It also contributes antimicrobial activity relevant to congested or breakout-prone skin.

Ideal For

• Skin regularly exposed to urban pollution, UV radiation, or environmental stress
• Dull, uneven, or lacklustre skin that has lost glow and radiance
• Fine lines and loss of firmness associated with collagen depletion
• Any skin type wanting a weekly detoxifying and renewing treatment
• Those looking for a certified organic mask with no grain fillers, gums, or starches

The Detox Note — Weekly Treatment, Not Daily Use

Protect + Renew is a concentrated treatment, not a daily product. Used once or twice weekly, it performs a function your daily skincare regime cannot — removing the accumulated layer of pollutants and dead cells that form a barrier to the actives in your serum and moisturiser. After a mask session, those products work noticeably better because the surface they are applied to is genuinely clear.

Mix one teaspoon of powder with water to form a paste. If your skin is sensitive or very dry, mix with aloe vera juice instead of water for additional soothing. Allow to dry for 15–30 minutes. Wash off thoroughly. Follow with your regular Miessence serum or treatment if desired.

How to Use

Add one teaspoon of Protect + Renew to water and mix thoroughly to form a paste. Apply to the face and neck. Allow to dry for 15 to 30 minutes. Wash off with warm water. Follow with a Miessence serum or skin treatment if desired.
